BTW, an interesting ruling out of Indiana:
I was wondering when this might come up.
So, which is it, Indiana GOP? Religious Freedom!, or Life Begins at Conception, a Fertilized Egg is a Person, and No Abortions for You, You Harlots!
:dunno:
Goes to the conservative Indiana SC next, to see if they can thread this needle.
A three-judge panel on the Indiana Court of Appeals agreed to enjoin Indiana’s near-total abortion ban, as applied against a class of religious plaintiffs who had argued that the ban violates a state law protecting religious freedom.
I was wondering when this might come up.
Indiana became one of the first states to enact a near-total abortion ban after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. In September of that year, four state residents of various faiths and a group called Hoosier Jews for Choice claimed that the ban violated the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was passed with great fanfare in 2015 under the watchful eye of then-Gov. Mike Pence. The American Civil Liberties Union’s plaintiffs contended that the almost total ban violates Jewish law, which provides that “a fetus attains the status of a living person only at birth,” and religious tenets that give priority to the life and health of the mother over that of the fetus.
So, which is it, Indiana GOP? Religious Freedom!, or Life Begins at Conception, a Fertilized Egg is a Person, and No Abortions for You, You Harlots!
